QxMD Read: A great tool for keeping up to date with the literature

By Marie Ascher, on September 21st, 2016

The Health Sciences Library is happy to announce that we have implemented institutional access to the journal awareness app, QxMD Read.

Read provides daily updates to articles in areas that you specify and continues to refine your personal profile based upon the articles you view. This is the state of the art in current awareness with full PDF access on your devices. Try it and we are pretty sure you will love it.
